How Daniel Got To Atlantis

by StargateNerd

This is for the people who think Daniel should've gone to Atlantis from the start, since he's the one who discovered the freakin' thing! They probably would've beat the Wraith by season 3 at least.

The expedition to Atlantis was gathered in the gateroom, their elongings and materials packed away. In the control room were Master Sergeant Walter Harriman, along with newly promoted General Jack O'Neill, Lt. Col. Samantha Carter, and Dr. Daniel Jackson. "Chevron 6, encoded," Walter said over the PA. "Chevron 7, encoded." Everyone waited with bated breath. "Chevron 8, locked!"

Cheers erupted both among those who were going, and those who weren't. Daniel gazed at the Stargate in awe. He knew on the other side was the Ancient, despite any doubts anyone else had. He just knew it. The expedition members led by Dr. Elizabeth Weir and Colonel Stick Up His Ass- I mean, Sumner, started to process through the gate.

"You know, Jack, if I hurry, I could-" "No, Daniel." "But I discovered it!" "NO, Daniel!" "Oh, forget this!" Daniel cried. He grabbed his suitcase from underneath the console, and made a mad dash down the stairs for the Stargate. "So long, suckers!" he cried, and jumped through the gate.

Everyone blinked. Sam was the first to recover. "Oh my God, Daniel's gone!" she cried. "Well, I guess we'll have to send more coffee through, then," Jack mused.
